A Viscoplastic Plane Frame Beam Column Element for Program FEAP.

Abstract

A two-dimensional viscoplastic beam element was developed for the computer program FEAP. The element is suitable for small displacements or moderate rotations with negligible shear. The element is formulated in moment thrust space which will improve modeling of concrete beams. The viscoplastic formulation provides time dependent effects such as the influence of the strain rate upon the yield strength.
